Japan never ceases to amaze me. This is an Game Center/arcade game prize from Banpresto and it is produced in a better quality than a retail product would have been here, or anywhere else for that matter. There's an amazing amount of detail here for such a simplistically-designed character, really tight stitching, crazy embroidery - basically an almost perfect 3-D representation of a character designed in 2-D. And on top of that, when you hit it on the head (ala Mario jumping on its head) it makes a "stomped" noise & occasionally will make a "miss" noise - aka - Mario/Luigi dying. But you already knew that, because you just watched the video above, right? ^^
